Letters Award for essay is appreciated On behalf of my family and myself, I would like to thank you and the William Penn Association for your generous financial contribution that I received for the essay that I wrote entitled, “What Fraternalism Means to Me.” The WPA has already provided me with a significant amount of financial support to aid my pursuit of a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. This additional support makes the goals of my academic career more attainable as I progress through the rigorous engineering program. I was excited to see my essay published in the William Penn Life and did not expect to receive any type of award for simply putting my thoughts on fraternalism on paper. The WPA has been a blessing to many young men and women who have chosen to further their personal growth through higher education, and for this I am whole-heartedly grateful. Thank you, again, for all that you do! Andrew D. Gordon Newtown, PA POSITION AVAILABLE Controller William Penn Association has an opening for the position of Controller. Accounting degree required.
